Traditional Services
We’re aware that many architects don’t go into detail about the services they provide. We chose to invest our time and effort in this detailed list so you’ll have a sense of what to expect and a resource to which you may refer at any point in a project.
You may also notice that we may provide services through the bidding, construction and maintenance phases. Not all firms provide these services.
It doesn’t make sense to us to prepare a set of documents for a project, hand them over and wish you well. Moving into the bidding and construction phases causes the project team to immediately grow from a small group to a large number: contractor + staff, subcontractors, vendors, etc. That’s when you need the most advocacy so we’re prepared to guide you through those phases.
+ Defining Your Vision: The Scope of Work
The scope of work for your project results from a needs assessment. That sounds more technical than it really is – it’s just an exercise to determine what you need and want.
+ Site Analysis
When you share your program, you share your vision for the project. When we understand and see your vision, we can help you select a property by forecasting specific attributes you’ll need to realize your vision. This helps narrow the selection of available properties. Once you’ve settled on a few or one particular property, we can walk the site with you to observe the features. This allows us to alert you to any perceived developmental difficulties.
+ Building Evaluation
A building evaluation is not a home inspection. It’s an opportunity for us to visit a property, with you or on your behalf, to evaluate the existing conditions so we can discuss the property with you. Though we may record conditions that would be reported by a home inspector, we can also work with you to address issues like zoning, architectural style, renovation/addition strategies, energy upgrades and other issues not typically addressed by a home inspector. This evaluation can also be paired with a site analysis if you’d like a holistic view of the property. It can also follow a home inspection to help you determine how to address the issues raised in a home inspection report.
Make it stand out.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
